James Tavernier speaks to TNT. “We did it the hard way … but we got to the next round … the special nights in European football that you can’t replace … we didn’t actually practice penalties this week!”
Jack Butland, exhausted but jubilant, adds: “When this club is going like this, we are something special … I wanted to put something on for the fans, to get it done … you can’t top it … we fully believed we would get the job done … the boys dug deep and this is the reward you get … we deserve this!”

Ibrox en fête! The Light Blues celebrate in the wild style. Having lost their first-leg lead, how well they did to dig in during the final stages of normal time, then extra time, to force penalty kicks. Barry Ferguson races across the pitch to join in the fun; Jose Mourinho, drained, throws consoling arms around a few of his men. They’ll travel to the Basque Country for a quarter-final showdown with Athletic Bilbao!

PENALTIES: Rangers 3-2 Fenerbahçe. Yandaş has to score now. Bedlam in Ibrox. Yandaş crumbles, hoicking wildly over the bar, and Rangers are through! Bedlam in Ibrox now all right!
Share
PENALTIES: Rangers 3-2 Fenerbahçe. Lawrence hammers home that advantage by battering an unstoppable one down the middle!
Share
PENALTIES: Rangers 2-2 Fenerbahçe. Fred shuffles on his run-up and aims for the bottom left. Butland reads correctly and sticks up a strong hand. Advantage Rangers again!
Share
PENALTIES: Rangers 2-2 Fenerbahçe. Barry Ferguson can’t look as Hagi makes his way upfield. Eğribayat takes his time over a swig of water. Hagi aims for the bottom right, but it’s not tucked into the corner, and the keeper turns the ball onto the bottom of the post and away. Level after three kicks apiece!
Share
PENALTIES: Rangers 2-2 Fenerbahçe. Djiku, who scored in the first leg, scores his penalty here. Bottom right, having sent Butland the wrong way. Calm as you like.
Share
PENALTIES: Rangers 2-1 Fenerbahçe. Černý takes a long run up and batters hard and handsome down the middle. The keeper no chance!
Share
PENALTIES: Rangers 1-1 Fenerbahçe. Džeko marks his 151st European appearance by whistling his pen into the left-hand side of the goal. Butland guessed correctly, but it was a futile effort.
Share
PENALTIES: Rangers 1-0 Fenerbahçe. Tavernier grimaces before taking his kick. Then blows hard. Then whips into the bottom left. Eğribayat went the right way, but it was too powerful, too precise.
Share
PENALTIES: Rangers 0-0 Fenerbahçe. Tadić up first. Butland takes his sweet time to get into position. Tadić whacks straight down the middle … and Butland, despite diving, kicks clear!

The pens will be taken in front of the Rangers fans, the Copland Road end, far away from the away supporters. Fenerbahçe to take the first kick.

Pre-penalty postbag. “At least Rangers will have a full, eh, two days to recover physically and mentally before their next game at, eh, Celtic Park on Sunday, while their bitter rivals have had a free week and are 16 points clear at the top. I’m sure that will be of some comfort to Barry Ferguson, whatever happens tonight” – Simon McMahon

EXTRA TIME, FULL TIME: Rangers 0-2 Fenerbahçe (agg 3-3)
Penalties it is, then! No double-hitting, lads, please. Not again.
Share
ET 30 min +2: Fenerbahçe get the ball forward in pursuit of a dramatic winner. Souttar clears twice in short order. Then Kostić drives into the box from the left and goes over. Tavernier slides in from behind to win the ball, and though Fener are collectively livid again, it’s the correct decision to deny their request.
Share
ET 30 min: There will be three additional minutes. Some bampot in the stand flings an object at Eğribayat. Thankfully it doesn’t hit the keeper, but dearie me.
Share
ET 29 min: Turns out it wasn’t Yandas who was booked, but his mate Kahveci for his part in the post-penalty-claim brouhaha.
Share
ET 28 min: Kahveci crosses deep from the left. Tadic volleys goalwards from the right-hand corner of the six-yard box. Butland parries well, then the flag goes up for offside.
Share
ET 27 min: Fener claim a penalty kick, Yandaş going over in the environs of Raskin. There’s no contact. Yandaş is insistent, though. He goes into the book, and so does his manager for taking the argument too far.
Share
ET 26 min: Yilmaz is booked for saying his piece about a garden-variety foul in the midfield.
Share
ET 24 min: Akçiçek is allowed to advance a long way down the inside-left channel, past a couple of tired challenges. Akçiçek reaches the edge of the box but he’s knackered too, and dribbles a weak shot towards the bottom left. Butland claims.
Share
ET 23 min: Černý tries to feed Igamane down the right, but the latter puts the brakes on. Igamane has been poor.
Share
ET 22 min: Now it’s Eğribayat’s turn for a muscle rub, as he goes over with cramp. He’s back up again soon enough.
Share

ET 21 min: Incidentally, Rangers nearly made a sub themselves during the extra-time break. It looked like Danilo was coming on for a knackered-looking Černý, but the latter made his feeling known after a quick muscle rub, and Barry Ferguson changed his mind. Danilo went back into the dugout and made some feelings of his own crystal clear, battering the walls of the dugout with angry fists.
Share
ET 19 min: Tavernier curls the free kick viciously towards the left-hand side of goal. It’s heading in, but Eğribayat claws it out. Fine play all round.
Share
ET 18 min: Hagi nearly successfully spins Djiku down the inside-left. Just before he enters the box, he’s clipped, and it’s a booking for the defender and a free kick to Rangers. Tavernier’s eyes light up.
Share
ET 17 min: Kostić crosses low and hard from the left. Souttar does well to block with opponents hovering, and the ball pings off one of them for a goal kick.
Share
The second half of extra time starts. Fenerbahçe get the ball rolling, having replaced their two-goal hero Sebastian Szymański and … hmm, I’ll get back to you … with İrfan Can Kahveci and Mert Hakan Yandaş.
Share
EXTRA TIME, HALF TIME: Rangers 0-2 Fenerbahçe (agg 3-3)
Just enough time left for Kostic to reach the byline on the left. He pulls back for En-Nesyri, who prepares to slam home from eight yards, only for Lawrence to nick the ball off his toe. The whistle goes, and the tension mounts.
Share
ET 15 min: There will be one additional minute to this first period of extra time.
